Stephen Graham can do no wrong and that has been confirmed once more after fans praised his performance in Sam Fender's new music video for his latest single, 'Spit Of You'.

The 48-year-old This is England actor is playing 27-year-old Fender's father who the singer-songwriter is struggling to open up to.

As the clip goes on, we see the pair sat on the sofa together, playing pool and going on a camping/fishing trip as the lyrics 'I can talk to anyone/I can't talk to you' play.

Following a heated exchange between the father-son duo, they finally embrace - possibly alluding to the fact that they're working through their communication barriers.

The video for the song 'Spit of You' was released today (6 October) and Fender took the opportunity to praise Graham himself.

On Twitter, he wrote: "It was the most amazing experience to film with @StephenGraham73 , genuinely one of the best actors this country has ever seen & such a lovely bloke."

Fans have also taken to praising the two men equally, with one writing: "Ah man @samfendermusic and @StephenGraham73 my two favourites!!!!! Brilliant brilliant video. Love how SG portrays every emotion. He could easily play the angry bloke all of the time but doesn't. Best actor of our generation."

Another said: "Loved this song from the moment I heard it and of course naturally the only way it was going to get better was to cast the amazing @StephenGraham73 in the video. Nailed it!"

Fender posted a teaser clip yesterday (5 October), to get fans excited for the video's release. In response, Graham commented to tell him it 'was a pleasure'.

Replying to the actor's message, one fan wrote: "You do realise you are quite possibly the best actor to ever come from the UK? Your roles are becoming so diverse yet you smash it every single time. Congratulations on your career so far and I can't wait to see what's coming."

Someone else added: "Arguably the best British actor, and one of the music industry's most talented singer-songwriters around. This is going to be amazing."
